Current Membership on Telescope Time Allocation...(1Sep93)
Committees
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 35, 1 September 1993)

Service on these committees is normally for a term of three years;
occasionally a term is for two years.  The tasks of these committees
are so arduous that no one should be asked to serve longer, yet a
multi-year appointment is desirable because it provides "memory" on the
committee from semester to semester. TAC members are chosen by mutual
agreement between the chairman and the new member after consultation
with current committee members, KPNO staff, and the NOAO Director.
Terms are chosen so that only a third of the committee changes each
time, thus providing as much continuity as possible. In addition to
members from outside the Observatory, each committee includes one KPNO
scientific staff member.

Starting last semester, TAC comments were sent to the PIs of all
proposals that were not scheduled. This new procedure appears to be
useful, and we plan to continue to provide these comments in the
future.

The current TAC membership is as follows:

Dark Time
D. De Young (KPNO, non-voting Chair)
T. Heckman (Johns Hopkins U.)
C. Hogan (U. of Washington)
H. Morrison (KPNO)
J. Mould (Caltech)

M. Whittle (U. of Virginia)

Bright Time

J. Black (Steward Obs.)
